It's nearly time! I'm one week away from the Driftless Art Fair, taking place in Soldier's Grove, WI next weekend, September 15 & 16th. Please check here http://www.crawfordcountywi.com/art_festival/2007%20Event.htm for all of the details and come find my booth if you visit the show.
For the next 7 days, my studio time will be devoted to work to sell at the Driftless Art Fair.
Now for the new work.
I have a tendency to overthink and overwork every piece I do. Every now and then I decide to trust an instinct, just trust it and go ahead without self-critique. I did it this week to finish up a few pieces that I started off thinking of as houseplant trellises.
They are about as simple as I can get- scrolled ends, the most basic and enduring decorative forged element and gentle curves, welded into springtime fern forms. They are about 18 inches high, bronze, with an antiqued finished and coppery undertones, left un-sealed so that they will age naturally in the home environment.
I love how these turned out and think that they'd make great wallpieces as well as elegant windowbox trellises.
These are so super cool! They will grace anyone's plants with a unique and sophisticated personality!
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful! I would love to watch you create someday.

ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful! I bought a book for 10 cents at the Library. It's all about Pre-Raphealite Art Nouveau....this reminds me very much of it's floral aspect. The book totally fell apart and the pages are thick and sturdy which makes it perfect for flipping thru and being inspired by...kinda like this here blog.
